yes. unfortunately the old one is still on the downloads section here. btw. we have a (newer) ship editor as well and quite frankly need every hand on it we can find right now

little advertising, I know hehe

to get on-topic again, you might also wanna take a look at the UDM2 Mod for botf. The guys (siggi (german) and whiteeagle along with dafedz) did some pretty nice job there. They might be willing to lend us the model textures if someone asks politely..

Yes that would be nice but this is not my duty I m crap in ship modeling on other hand maybe Kenneth or Trashman would be interested

Nah, forget about Gavin, his project is 100% dead and gone. In all honesty i'm not even sure it existed in the first place.

BOTF1 modding is most definitely alive and kicking, Zeleni - the are more like the mother of these forums than a sister - if there wasn't an AFC, there wouldn't be a botfii.armadafleetcommand.com!

The most recent successes in BOTF modding are the ships themselves - the ability to actually arm modded/added ships with Phasers was something that took something like 6 years to crack, and it was only around Christmas time that it was actually cracked.

I still remember what it was like reading that the Connie finally had teeth...



It brings a tear to my eye...

Other mods are under constant development - UDM2 is just one of them. Anyways, check out the yourself, but if you want to download stuff you will need to sign up - the downloads section is restricted to registered members only. You won't even be able to see what is in there before you sign in. Have fun.

Who is this siggi? I've never heard of him/her/it before.

I certainly can't upload .zip files to sharepoint either, Mal. I've only got Office 2000 though, so that's likely the reason.

Sounds like you should upgrade to Office 2007, matress . Since you're still using 2000, it'd be a worthwhile upgrade for you. The new interface kicks ass. I think Office 2003 is fully capable of integrating with SharePoint.

Office 2000 still works so until the disks break or I "find" a copy, i'm not going to be upgrading. Lol I didn't pay for my copy of office 2000 anyway. I'm certainly not giving my hard earned money to a company for software that should come as a free ugrade as far as I care.

Thats true.... capiatlist bastards lol

I submitted a news article over at Birth of the Federation about the recordings and suggested further cooperation as far as that might go.

Now I will work on colony ships. The rest will work it self out over time.

hm, matress, trick 17 like we germans say: do rename the zip to jpg. upload it. rename it on sharepoint to zip (or let someone else download it, rename it on his hdd and upload it again)->done.

siggi is the 3rd member of the UDM2 team doing models and balancing there. Check out the readme of the new 2.1.1 patch.

sure you're right, botf afc is more the mother like the sister of botf2 afc here..makes sense.

I lost my saved link to this really large library of Star Trek Universe ships. Someone here had shown me the site where you could lookup all the major race ships, new and old. Does anyone know what I am talking about? All I can find looks like this:

you mean ex astris scientia and memory-alpha? try google for that names, you should find the site immediately.

I don't really know of any other large library sites concerning star trek but on ex astris, there is a huge link section that covers pretty much every site that has something to show..

Edit: okay, battleclinic I forgot, look below ..

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Don't forget to check out the links section of the site - its on the top-left, second link from bottom - if you guys know of any links that could be added, then submit them so everyone else can look!

Now that the red alert it over I am back at models. Per request I will work through the Federation ship list, (all be it very slowly.) Put me down for the Federation Colonyship II. (increased the poly on the saucer section to get the round look and have just taken the first step in texturing)

(The shuttle craft riding piggy back are named Skeeter, Jigalypuff, Mattress of Evil, Winterhawk, Mstrobel, Malvoisin, Nemitor_Atimen, Trashman and all the rest of my heroes. Yes, there are a few more colonyships with more shuttles to be named.)

TRANSPORT I
-Phobos Class
I see we have a Federation ship called a Transport. Are we talking about a freighter and not a troop transport ship here? It would call for something with a bulk transport look to it? Is this a big rig, supper tanker of the 24th century?

hm it's a multi-purpose transporter for troop carrying and building outposts, so it should be a bulk heavy freighter I think. Isn't there a pic in the botf1 files to have a quick look at?

OK. I was recalling the BOTF I ship was a "troop transport" and thinking this was something new. We will have some construction and even military role for this ship as in the orginal and it is nothing new. I can make it look something like the ship in BOTF I.

Thanks. That helps a lot. I may give the low tech one a construction arm like the Space Shuttle working on the International Space Station. That whould be a low tech detail but otherwise it can look like the original.

Nice model Ken!

What name and or number do I put on the Colony-ship II?

CS - 134 ?

HMS Jigalypuff ?

Cut on dotted line, Best if used by 2435.14 ?
